Harbor House Cafe

Worse place ever! My fiancé and I were looking for a place where we could have some lunch and thought we’d eat here! My fiancé got food poisoning and was severely ill. I do not recommend this place to anyone! Parents, when taking your kids here, please consider their health. Do not take your kids here!

Will never ever go back. 3 of the 4 of us got sick while we were eating there. My husband ended up going to ungent care and Doctor say it was food poisoning. EVERYTHING THERE WAS DIRTY. Worst meal all of us had ever had.

GOT SICK! a few hours later after eating here. The only thing that we can pinpoint that got my son & I ill was the water we ordered because we all ordered different foods from the menu plus the drinks. It was horrible, it started with a stomach ache, fever, vomiting & then diarrhea. We had to take my son to urgent care and was given a nausea pill & recommended lots of fluids.
Unfortunately we cut our vacation short & came back to Ca. My son I went to our doctors and explained our symptoms and where we had eaten. They couldn’t confirm that it was the water but did say something might of not been properly sanitized .
The food there was not that great and after getting sick here I dont recommended to no one.

I really enjoyed sitting lakeside at this café this passed weekend. I was very relaxing. I would definitely go back. I also liked the fact that I was able to sit in the patio with my DOGS drink some beverages and enjoy some food.

Left Hoover Dam and we wanted to spend some time at Lake Mead. We heard there was a café, but we were just expecting a snack bar. We were pleasantly surprised that it was a restaurant. Excellent service and delicious food. We had the Island Chicken sandwich and fish tacos. Both were awesome and the price was right!

We stopped in here the other day unexpectedly on our way to the dam and we were pleasantly surprised! The restaurant was a fun on the water atmosphere with very friendly staff. We sat on the patio and enjoyed our lunch that came in a very timely manner. We had the fish tacos and the Titanic burger, both were excellent. Great options for the kids as well, even though they were more interested in feeding the «harbor mascot» Rockstar, a crazy looking duck. We found this place on accident but will now be making it one of our stops whenever we come to town! Highly recommended!

Horrible. It’s like one of those places in the boondocks you get murdered at. Then they make food out of their poor victims.
The coffee is practically water.
The mug the coffee comes in has dried soap all over it and would stick to the dirty table.
Worse than cafeteria food.
The eggs were not even eatable!
The staff lack hygiene and manners.
Worse breakfast of my life. It was like torture. Steer clear people!

Horrible, horrible, horrible service… no drinks, no food and no way to get wait staff to give you a glass of water… waited more than 45 minutes! Not a tourist friendly place!

We popped in here due to poor planning. We left our hotel on Lake Las Vegas going to Hoover Dam right around lunch thinking we’d get something to eat on the way. What I failed to realize was that there would be no options for us at all until we reached this marina. Thankfully, the food was great, service was wonderful and there were plenty of things to do to keep the kiddies occupied. After parking, we walked onto the dock and first thing that struck us was the massive number of fish just swimming alongside the dock and swarming whenever we went close by to take a look. Found out that people feed the fish and there will be massive swarms as they all angle to be fed. Similarly, ducks abound to steal said food.
While they do sell hamburger buns to feed the fish, I’m sure that bringing your own bread will ultimately be cheaper.
They have a pretty extensive menu with stuff for the little ones and even a lighter fair option available. Sandwiches were good, and the fries were awesome. All the waitresses had pleasant attitudes and were very friendly. They had some locals that they’d greet by name.
All-​in-​all, much better than we had expected!

Hanging out at Harbor House Café reminds me of the Otis Redding song «Sitting on the Dock of the Bay.» Lake Mead isn’t exactly a bay, but it is the closest thing to it in the Mojave Desert.
Harbor House Café is part of the Las Vegas Boat Harbor marina. It is a café with indoor and outdoor seating surrounded by the Lake Mead water and boats.
Harbor House Café serves the typical café food during breakfast, lunch, and dinner. It is a full-​service restaurant with friendly waitresses.
Harbor House Café is more than a restaurant. It is also a bar. They serve beer in cans (domestic $ 3), bottles (domestic $ 3 and imports $ 4), buckets (5 alike cans $ 12), and draft Michelob Ultra ($ 4) and Shock Top ($ 5.50). It is a bar that is over and above just serving beer. They serve cocktails that include Bahama Mama, Beach Bull, Naked Pirate, Sand in your Shorts, Tropical Sunrise, and Blue Coconut Margaritas. Plus they also serve wine.
Today when I hiked round-​trip between the Hacienda (might be Hoover Dam Lodge by the time you read this) and Las Vegas Boat Harbor, Harbor House Café was my half-​way stop. It is a very tranquil spot to take a break on Lake Mead with a cold one. I ordered a Michelob Ultra draft in a plastic cup that I took to the patio where I felt like I was sitting on the dock of the bay. I enjoyed feeling the gentle breeze of Lake Mead, hearing the seagulls, and taking in the boats. I felt like I was transplanted back to Long Island.
The docks surrounding and including the Harbor House Café is a prime waterfowl viewing spot. Waterfowl from ducks to geese to what looked like a rooster are the free entertainment here. There was no shortage of an entertaining waterfowl coming into view. Just like any good entertainer, waterfowl brightens my mood.
I timed it so I left Harbor House Café at sundown. Being a hiker into picture-​taking, the sun coming down over Lake Mead was a nice way to end my break.
There is relatively few places in the Mojave Desert where I feel like I am sitting on the dock of the bay. Harbor House Café gives this experience with friendly service. And I give it 4 stars.
